As we know some people have a greater density of taste buds built into their
tongues. I have less, but my wife and son have more than i do and they can
detect subtle food flavours that I cannot.
Tescos in North London U.K. sometime do meat in their 'reduced price'
section. The other day I got some really good beef and lamb which was
slightly 'darker' coloured from this section at about 1/4 of the normal
price. I fried it up and enjoyed it and put the rest in the freezer.
Other members of the family thought this was truly awful. My view is that
although if you smell it closely, it is different; but that it is basically
just a bit of *oxizidation* and it does not effect the taste. Years ago
they used to hang up 'game' outside for weeks.
Views on this really seem to divide people. But I cannot believe that a big
store like Tesco would continue to sell this very slightly off coloured
meat, if it represented any health risk.
Any comments on this please, whether one can safetly consume such meat?

"Reduced for quick sale" is my favorite cut of meat. I've eaten it for
decades.
If it stinks when you open it, let it breathe a while. If it still stinks
after a few minutes, you be the judge. I've had a lot of 'fresh' cryovaced
meat stink like hell right out of the package but then smell fresh as a
daisy minutes later.
I just finished eating some questionable ground lamb. First time I've ever
had it. I'll update tomorrow if I become ill.
Also, I've had fresh smelling meat emit a stench from Hell once I started
cooking it. It's only happened a couple of times, but it went into the
trash immediately.

I do the same thing, never had any problems with it or ever had
anything that smelled close to bad.
I've occasionally noticed a bit of discoloration, but no more aso than
if i bought it fresh and it sat in the fridge for a day or two.

That happened to me once with some chicken. I was pissed off.
